Abstract
Eight bamboo species of northeast India were carbonized in a laboratory-scale fixed bed reactor at temperature ranging from 300°C to 600°C with a heating rate of 5°C/min, and their mass balance experiments of decomposition products were done at 600°C. At this temperature, the yields of charcoal, tar, gas, and condensable liquid ranged from 23.35–28.25%, 6.46–8.85%, 6.93–10.05%, and 51.98–57.96%, respectively. Fixed carbon content of the charcoal samples varied from 62.10–67.52% indicating their suitability only for domestic use or as a fuel for gasification and not for metallurgical use.
